Big Huge Music Post
Today I'm just in a very jamming-out-to-music mood, so I want to write about music and what's on my playlists today.
Today is:
-Lily Allen
-Katy Perry
-Bitter:Sweet
-Rihanna
-Katy Rose
-Rilo Kiley
...a lot of lady singers, and some of them are just batfuck crazy, which is why I love them. Lily Allen is great in her caustic honesty and bitchitude; she gets bonus points for the clear accent in her voice.
Katy Perry is hilarious (Ur So Gay and I Kissed A Girl), but wistful and point-on at the same time. Some of her songs are yearning for something that she can't have, and some of them just make me grin like two grinning things.
Bitter:Sweet is a trip-hop duo that is insanely good. I only have the one song Waking Up, but based on that I'm waiting to get the ten bucks to buy the rest of their album. It's mellow and dancey all at the same time.
I'm only listening to the one song by Rihanna right now - Breakin' Dishes - because it's just. that. good. It's got a great beat, it's catchy, and it's angry for no discernible reason. Regardless of my mom's tastes, I love both Rihanna's voice and her hair.
Katy Rose sang that song Overdrive for Mean Girls ages ago off her debut album Because I Can. I've got that and her second one, Candy Eyed, and both are worth it. She's been through a lot of the same issues that I've been through, so I can relate to so many of her songs. It's a little grittier on the second album, but like I said, both are really good.
Rilo Kiley... nuff said.
I've got a new CD by Cut/Copy and so far I dig it hard. More later when I have time to just listen to it.
Mmm, music. I'm pretty happy with my Ruckus playlist right now. Today's chill and laid-back, practically the epitome of Maroon 5's Sunday Morning music (not so much the lyrics, but definitely the music). I'll write later when I'm up to it or when stuff actually starts happening around here.
